Why no city response to councilman accepting LEAP money?

About the article on July 14 ("Councilman given $40K 'severance' despite no-pay agreement") regarding what I will call the so-called unethical actions of not only of Ward 1 Councilmember Richard Garrett but the city government and its officials that allowed this to happen: This article quickly has left the Leaf-Chronicle front page, nor was there ever a follow-up story to it; as a matter of fact, you have to use the search tool to find it.

Why hasn’t an investigation been started here? And one that does not linger past the November 2018 elections to protect officials. Does the whole city government have something to hide, or do they feel this type of conduct by its members is OK?

Questions remain here why did the mayor make this agreement with Mr. Garrett and the LEAP organization then say nothing when they violated it?

Why isn’t the city trying to recoup the funding given to LEAP?

Regardless of how much good it did or didn’t do, the actions of LEAP’s board of directors and Mr. Garrett will cause repercussions for those nonprofits that follow the rules.
